COVID, Flu Vaccination Clinic Set For Sunday In Davidson

DAVIDSON, NC — A community flu and COVID-19 vaccination event will be held this weekend in Davidson.

The spread of coronavirus in Mecklenburg County increased by nearly 4,000 known COVID-19 cases and 30 deaths last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday. The news comes as Charlotte's three largest health systems joined together to warn the community that metro hospitals are filling up to capacity with unvaccinated COVID-19 patients.

The vaccine clinic will be held in the Community School of Davidson's middle school gym, located at 565 Griffith Street on Sunday, Sept. 12.

Say organizers: "It is open to anyone in the community as a service to the larger community. The COVID vaccine is free for everyone, with or without insurance. Anyone 12 years and older is eligible for COVID vaccine."

The flu shots are also free for anyone 3 years and older with health insurance, organizers said.
